Seeking alpha testers for Beepl

by jparicka on 1/15/2011, 12:16 PM with 21 comments

We have an early alpha out, and I was wondering if I can find some volunteer alpha testers over here? The address is http://alpha.beepl.com

I cannot wait to hear back from you. Thanks!

    I tried to log in with twitter and got the following, using Opera 11 on Windows 7:

    I'm not quite sure what the bee logo that shows up on beeps (tweets?) is for. There's nothing to indicate what it does when I mouseover, and the page it takes me to is filled with all kinds of stuff.

    I was looking for a way to respond to answers.

    Now that I'm logged in, here's a feature suggestion... it would be kind of cool to be able to flip through suggested questions randomly, or perhaps look at "genres" of questions if you're in an answering mood.

    A quick note for those who signed in (thank you for that btw), you can send questions to beepl directly from Twitter simply by adding #ask hashtag to them.

    My biggest complaint is that there's no page to explain what beepl is or how it works -- things I'd like to know before I sign in with my Twitter account.

    PS - please keep in mind this is ALPHA. Things change every day as I'm working on it.

    Thank you, folks. Great feedback.
